Hi, this is my new Cthulego diorama. It was going to be unveiled exclusively at Legoworld this year, but due to a change in circumstances I’m not sure how much of the event (if any) I will be present for or for that matter when after next Friday I will be able to post mocs online again, so here it is now:

Any comments are of course welcome and encouraged!

Cheers, Mark. (Nabii)

Very nice! I particularly like the plane. Your work is being admired on Eurobricks as well.

God Bless,

Nathan

Once again, excellent job. This has so much detail and the main mouth is downright scary. love all the little touches, and how you have brought lovecraft to the small build.

I would probably favour your sea side one over this, but that is a personal choice , and this is still fantastic work.

Can not wait for the next installment

Simply awesome! I have to admit, though, that I was hoping to see another implementation of this

But, I still love it!

That is just amazing. The fact that someone ELSE read the series, and that you did it in lego.

good job.

Mark,

I’d like to say this is a wonderful MOC, full of incredible detail, like the corrugated sided airplane, the old style roadsters, the Rat Patrol style machine gunning jeep and the oddly out of place Police call box, but the hideous, gelatinous, many tentacled horror crawling out of the desert floor, exuding a vomitous odor is just too much for puny mortal man to contemplate.

You can reply to me at the Arkham Asylum.

Great work!

George

Thanks George - good luck with the treatment!

Just a note for everyone who’s asked why Doctor Who (from the BBC sci-fi time travelling TV series) is included here? Because: 1. When I was growing up in the 70’s and 80’s many of the Doctors foes were nameless entities from space who’s motives were often unclear, many of them had tentacles and glistening lumps of stuff - and were obviously hugely inspired by Lovecraft! 2. The new series rocks and I love it! 3. At shows and club events small details leap out at the kids, they love to show off their knowledge and spot the Doctor. 4. It helps stop parents pointing at anything sci-fi (such as this) and saying “Star-Wars” then turning and walking off because Star Wars isn’t their thing/their kids thing. (This happens surprisingly often to my space creations and is a bit disheartening!)

Thanks to all for the kind comments, Mark.

Bravo! I always found Lovecraft a little too dry and straight-faced to be really frightening so I find your ebullient, spectacular interpretation far more enjoyable. I’d love to see you mock up a five-set theme in fake packaging.

I couldn’t go without once again praising the cheery inclusion of a certain Time Lord, grinning madly at the scene of carnage. Very authentic!

However I will add my voice to the chorus pleading for more gore. A few spilled intestines always make my day a little brighter!

A bit of thread necromancy... but that model was worth the bump! Even after 5
years worth of advances in modeling, that plane still rocks.
